I'm building a gaming PC for Xmas and I think I have a build to suit my needs. I want the PC to be able to run next gen games and current gen games easily at good frame rates consistently on high settings. I am also trying to keep the cost to a minimum.

The budget I've set myself is 600 euro and this is what I have sourced and intend to buy:

Case: Gigabte GZ-X7 Tower ATX Black

Motherboard: MSI H61M-P32/W8 Socket 1155 Intel H61 Micro ATX Motherboard

CPU: Intel Core i5 4430 Quad Core

Graphics Card: MSI Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 w/ 2GB Memory

PSU: Alpine Gold Fan 600W

Memory: Corsair 4GB DDR3

Storage: Seagate 500GB HDD 5400 rpm

If you guys could just have a look over it and see if there is anything I could do better, where I could find a piece cheaper or what you would change that would be really helpful.

Also could you check if everything in this set-up is compatible. I don't want to order something and find out they don't work together.



Thanks in advance :)

lol @ competitors names.

some poor choices there like PSU and Case

and some not wise choices like GTX660 or MoBo

CPU is not compatible with MoBo.
